My participation in ministry

Well my participation in ministry is helping out with the church that I been a signed to and helping out with retreats here at camp Qwanoes. During this course I been a singed to New Life church with three other students and our goal at the church is to serve at the youth group on Friday nights and talking with the leaders there it sounds like we might lead some youth nights which sounds awesome cant wait. This youth nights have theme its really cool and I also  help out with the kids zone on Sunday morning after the church service. Kids zone is  where the church will go out to the nature reserve side New Life and helping  kids by putting on puppet shows and teaching them different skills.

New Life is a great church the people there are great the moment we meet them they told us that we are in their church family they are going to be there if we help with the church ministry that sounds so welcoming I feel like in I'm a part of the family. They have three pastors because they have two Sunday services and I met two of the three Shane and Mark and heard them both speak they are great speakers with a powerful message to the church. they love helping out in the community like having the kids zone and doing garage sale so makes the church a big help in the community. 

Here at Qwanoes I help with the retreats that they hold on the weekends all the students and I got a schedule   and we each do a full weekend so we are counsellors,  activity leaders, maintenance or kitchen staff. We also do two part weekends so we help out where and when we are put. one of the things we help with is challenge course which is rock climbing, zip line, skyscraper and high lines and we all  went through a course that teaches us how to be a belayer in the challenge course so we are surified those are the things I do.

Camp Qwanoes a light house for Gods ministry here in B.C it provides a great chance for kids to come and hear Gods word and get the great camp experience. It has a lot of stuff like the waterfront, the sports field, club coco so your never bored. So helping out here at the camp is really going to help me grow in camp ministry it gives me the tools and experience so I can go and use it where ever God calls me after this program. So that is the ministry I'm doing here in the Kaleo program. Jonathan Sachro       

Hey everyone who supported me and is praying for me I would like to say thank you for your help and your prayers. here is a update of my time here in the Kaleo program, the first week of the program us orientation so they showed the 21 other students in the program and I camp Qwanoes  which is a great place to be for 8 months. we had church orientation so what church we go to (we got spit up into different churches in groups of three) and how we were going to serve at these churches plus I we got to meet the pastors of the different churches. Then we had academic orientation where we learned what classes we doing this year and we got if  on our profs. 

The next we went on a 30-34 km hiking trip up mount Albert  Edwards  FYI: if you want to know the people that your spending the next 8 months with go on a hiking I got to really know the other 21 students and build a good friendship with them it was awesome. when we summited the mountain the view was so incredible you really feel Gods glory and all your earthly problems just fade away.
